Mona P5X Build Guide: Crit, Chivalry, and Zero-SP Sustain
https://www.lootbar.com
I'll be straight with you: for the longest time I was that player who burned through SP like it was going out of style. I'd spam Mona's Healing Breeze ten turns deep into Trial of Thorns, watch my DPS get chipped down anyway, and end the run with an empty SP bar and a sour taste in my mouth. Then I finally sat down and actually read his Chivalry passive properly — total "wait, that's it?" moment. Mona isn't an HP-stacked heal bot. He's a set-it-and-forget-it sustain slot, and once you build him around crit, you'll wonder how you ever cleared anything without him. Chivalry Is the Whole Ballgame 🌪️ Here's the mechanic that changes everything: Chivalry generates stacks on Mona's critical hits, and those stacks get consumed automatically whenever an ally below 70% HP attacks. That consumption triggers Resonance, a full-party passive heal that costs zero SP. Zero. Not "a little," not "discounted" — zero. The practical upshot is that as long as you're sitting on 3 or more stacks, your entire squad tops itself up after every ally attack, and you never touch a single SP point to do it. Low-crit Mona runs dry almost instantly and turns into a glorified Healing Breeze dispenser, which is exactly the trap I fell into for way too long. Overusing Healing Breeze also bleeds your SP dry during long HHL runs and Trial of Thorns, which is where sustained clears live or die. What Mona Actually Brings to the Table Mona is a Wind Medic, and his kit is deceptively loaded: party-wide healing, elemental cleansing, a 2-turn Windswept application, and a revive stapled onto his Highlight ultimate. That's a support covering four jobs at once, which is why he slots into so many comps without anyone having to twist my arm. My stat priority, in order, is: Critical Rate — this is the engine. No crits, no stacks, no free healing. Healing Effect — multiplies the value of every heal, passive or active. ATK — raises the ceiling on both. Hitting a baseline of 40% Crit Rate is the difference between a comfy, low-SP sustain slot and a shaky healer that forces you to burn resources on overheals. Don't skip this. I did, and I paid for it in SP potions. Skills, Cards, and Stat Priority Level Missile Whirlwind and Gentle Fist evenly first — you want reliable Chivalry stack generation above everything else. Then level Healing Breeze , and save Highlight for last, since the revive is a nice safety net but not your bread and butter. For Revelations, Love is the set to chase: the 2-piece grants 9% Healing Boost, and the 4-piece adds 26% extra healing for allies below 50% HP. That second effect is tailor-made for the messy end of a Trial of Thorns run. Card Slot Main Stat Why It Matters Moon Healing Effect % Bigger passive heals across the board Star Critical Rate % More consistent Chivalry stacks Sky ATK % or HP % Heal scaling or extra survivability Weapons, Awareness, and the Rotation That Works Weapon ranking, from best to budget: Golden Legacy (BiS) — 18% Crit Rate, 9% extra max HP healing on all heal skills, and a free Chivalry stack whenever your attack misses. The whole package. Headhunter Ladle (F2P) — 5.9% Crit Rate plus a passive heal to your lowest HP ally every time you cast a skill. Genuinely great for the price. Shamshir (ATK alternative) — 12% ATK, plus a 10% HP / 4% ATK buff for 2 turns when you heal an ally above 80% HP. Awareness breakpoints worth targeting: A1 boosts healing for allies under 50% HP by 30%, A2 increases Healing Breeze's primary target heal by 33%, and A6 removes Gentle Fist's 20% accuracy penalty while adding a 15% damage taken debuff to hit enemies for 2 turns.
